2.5Correlation and Best – Fitting Lines: Correlation –
When deciding on a correlation (positive, negative, relatively none):
Look at the graph
If the y tends to increase as the x increases: it’s positive
If the y tends to decrease as the x increases: it’s negative
If there is no linear pattern: there’s relatively no correlation
Best Fitting Lines – When trying to create a best fitting line:
Carefully draw a scatter plot of the data.
Sketch the line that seems to follow the pattern of points the best. A good rule of thumb is to have as many points below the line as above.
Choose two points on the line and estimate the coordinates of these points. (The two points you choose do not have to be original data points.)
Find the equation of the line that passes through the two points you chose. This equation will model the data in the problem.
2.6Linear Inequalities in Two Variables: Graphing-
1.Graph the boundary line of the inequality (dashed for > or <, solid for >/=or </=.)
2.Then test to see if it’s a solution by choosing any point (try picking a point clearly on one side or the other). The easiest point to use being the origin (0,0).
3.If the point that you chose satisfies the equation then shade that side of the boundary, if it doesn’t, shade the other side.
And when checking your solutions for any inequality, just graph. 2.7Piecewise Functions: Evaluating: Example: Evaluate f (x) when (a) x=3 (b) x=0 and (c) x=6F(x)={x + 2, if x</=3 ; 2x + 1, if x>3}
f (x) = x +2 [Because x (3) is less than or equal to 3.]
f (3) = x (3) + 2 = 5. [Solution after substituting 3 for x.]
f (x) = x + 2 [Because x (0) is less than or equal to 3]
f (0) = x (0) + 2 =2. [Solution after substituting 0 for x.]
f (x) = 2x + 1 [Because x (6) is greater than 3.]
f (6) = 2(6) + 1=13. [Solution after substituting 6 for x.]
Graphing a Piecewise Function: If you were to use the same function as above you would:
Graph y = x+2 to the left of 3, and on the solution to 3 place an open point.
Graph y = 2x +1 to the right of 3, and on the solution to 3 place a closed point.
Some graphs will have to rays with a common initial point, although this one will not.
Graphing a Step Function: Example: f(x) = {4, if 0</= x < 1 ; 3, if 1</= x < 2 ; 2, if 2 </= x < 3 ; 1, if 3</= x < 4} This is called a step function because all the line segments together look like a set of stairs. To start graphing this you would have all x’s from 0 to 1 have a y of 4, and the segment would have a closed point at 0 and an open one at 1. Then all the x’s from 1 to 2 would have a y of 3 and a closed point at 1 and a closed point at 2.
2.8Absolute Value Functions: Graphing – Before you graph you must know that the equation for an absolute value function is y = a abs(x-h) + k, you also must know that:
1.The vertex of the graph is (h, k) and is symmetric in the line x = h.
2.The graph will be V-shaped, opening up when a > 0, down when a < 0.
3.The graph is wider than the graph of y = abs(x) if abs(a) < 1, and the graph will be narrower than the graph of y = abs(x) if (a) > 1.
When you do graph an absolute value function you will probably find it helpful to plot the vertex and one other point. Then find a third point by using symmetry to complete it.
